Complicated but has ample ability. Flew up in a Vincennes Class D 11 days ago, her first victory since moving to her new yard at the end of the winter meeting, and should prove dangerous at the business end of affairs

Serious mare that returned to winning ways at Caen early last month, securing a 2450m Class D. Imposed here this time last year and, although unlikely to confirm, can nevertheless finish in the mix

Seldom wins but has been giving a fine account of herself since the turn of the year. Reverts to a previous formula and looks competitive for a place on the podium

Failed to confirm February performance when eliminated in a Vincennes Class C on 21 March. Is confirmed at Angers, however, and the front-line start will do her chances no disservice

Already twice a winner this year, latterly dominating a Laval Class A 3 weeks ago. Has never raced right-handed in France but is as tough as they come and, with application, can bring the fight to IDEAL DU ROCHER (9)

Left a very good impression when 3rd in strong Vincennes Gr.3 on 28 February. Ran 5th in Gr.3 Grand Prix Anjou-Maine on his only start at the venue and, despite the 25m handicap, is easy to like for the win

A fine servant that ran 3rd in the Gr.3 Prix du Plateau de Gravelle at Vincennes in late-February, IDEAL DU ROCHER (9) looks the best horse here and will be no easy touch. Clement Duvaldestin will still want to be wary of the talented, and better-placed, RIKITA JP (5) who comfortably won at Laval early last month, and the tricky JOLIE STAR (1) who steps up in category after having dominated in Paris. KELLE BEAUTE (3) has been knocking at the door this term and, reconfigured for the occasion, will be expected to play another active role. JOYCE DELTO (2) has taken little time getting back to her best and, winner of her only Angers start, will be justifiably well-supported.
Disappointing on the whole for some time and has no realistic chance

Proven at a superior level, and nicely-engaged, IZELBIO (7) starts wide on the front row but still looks good enough to win this. Starting just to his outside, HELBERT FOUTEAU (8) is competitively-shod this time and has already won at the venue. Better-positioned behind the car, HURRICANE STEED (5) placed here during the autumn and should again figure prominently if he keeps his action together. JAB KISS (14) may not have faired well in the draw stakes but he is clearly in fine shape and will sport front pads this time.
Qualified in an excellent 1.17.7 but was unable to keep her action together first time out. Is plainly a serious trotter in the making and can get his nose in front if he stays in stride

After qualifying nicely in Grosbois 3 weeks ago, NECTAR DRY (1) was competitive when eliminated on his debut 10 days later, but moves to a hard surface and can get off the mark if Benjamin Rochard keeps him trotting. NEW LOOK SENOVILLE (8) should not be too hastily-condemned for being eliminated at Agen and Matthieu Abrivard will be eager to put things right. Runner-up at Machecoul mid-March when piloted by Eric Raffin for the first time, NICE ATOUT (3) is ideally-placed behind the car, has been fitted with front pads, and looks a major player. Mathieu Mottier takes over on NO SECRET (6) who has looked a decent future prospect.
Blows hot and cold but has twice won racing right-handed. Is competitively-shod for the first time and must not be underestimated

Although never far from faulting, MARVELOUS PIYA (5) has bags of ability and goes well right-handed. She got back in the game at Amiens early last month, goes first-time barefoot, and can impose. MARA DU SAPHIR (9) showed her form after being eliminated on comeback last week and, despite the draw, still has the ability to impose. MERRY DE MALABRY (6) also lost her action on re-entry but has no shortage of talent, and Eric Raffin will be determined to set the record straight. MILADY DE LA PIECE (4) would have finished closer at Vincennes in late-February had he kept trotting; she returns to racing shod and, with application, can make amends.
Excellent trotter that finished runner-up in both monte starts, including over course and distance. Is plainly at the top of his game and will have this in the bag if form transitions

A fine Swedish raider whose French sojourn has already paid dividends, COMPETIVO (1) is back under the saddle after winning twice under harness recently and will be well-backed to win this. Runner-up in his last 2, it will not be long before JOKER DE FROULAY (2) returns to victorious ways. JABLO DU CHENE (3) may not have been seen out since October but he is undefeated in 2 starts over course and distance and will be barefoot for his return to competition. JINGLE DELO (4) is a model of consistency and will have a lot to contribute if he takes to the new profile.

Sent for a break after imposing at Cabourg in December, LE CAPORAL (12) was superb on his comeback at Meslay-du-Maine a fortnight ago and has a realistic chance of confirming. Runner-up that day after having imposed at Saint-Brieuc, LOVE ACTUALLY (9) excels with Eric Raffin, is barefoot for the occasion, and should again figure prominently, however he may first have to see off the wonderfully-entered L'AMIRAL TURGOT (14) who will have come on for his return run. LEO DES MALBERAUX (13) has yet to disappoint when barefoot and should again prove competitive for a spot in the picture.

Most impressive in this branch of the business, and well-engaged here, KORINTO BELLO (14) may not have been seen out for over 2 months, but he is clearly in race-mode and looks set to take all the beating. KEOPS LUDOIS (7) gave a fine account at Lisieux on his first start this year, and will be more competitively-shod this time. JOKER DE LA BRETTE (12) put on quite the show at Reims mid-March on her monte bow.

Oddly below-par when eliminated in a Vincennes Class E on 21 March. Has been reconfigured for the occasion and will have a prominent role to play if Alexandre Abrivard manages to keep her focused

Looked in excellent shape when eliminated in a Vincennes Class D mid-February. Benefits from a good entry, is well-positioned on the front line, and can pick up a first victory for 12 months

Produced 4 excellent performances before failing to deliver in race of reference. Sports front pads this time but should not be entirely ignored

6th behind KIRA BO FACE (8) in 21 March race of reference. Is at ease over these shorter trips and, sporting a fresh configuration, will have her chances from the 5 slot

Respectable 5th of 17 in a Caen Class F on 16 March, but faces a much stiffer test this time and chances limited

Has looked rather ordinary for much of the winter. Was not disgraced in race of reference but still has a lot more to find

Blows hot and cold but beat a number of these when 3rd in a 2100m Vincennes Class E on 21 March. Should appreciate Angers conditions and will not be available at 34-1. Chance

Won 3 from 4, all going clockwise, before being sent for a rest in December. Has not been seen since, and has pulled an unfavourable number, but is barefoot for the occasion and looks an interesting outsider

Lost her way late last summer. Goes barefoot this time but appears to have no possible chance

Has just the one race under her belt since the winter layoff and with shoes fitted will have nothing to bring to the party

Returns to the professional ranks after winning 2 straight in the amateur division. Has imposed twice for Arthur Raffin, but not for Eric, although his presence in the bike will assure his mare considerable support

Given an extra couple of weeks to recalibrate after losing her action in Paris last time, KASSYA (3) boasts solid right-handed references and, with Paul Ploquin back in the bike, can bring home the bacon. Although seldom seen racing right-handed, KIRA BO FACE (8) does not enjoy the best of draws but will be dangerous if she replicates her recent Vincennes performance. JUMBY BAY (2) finished close behind her that day, has produced some good times recently, and even though shod still represents a respectable place chance. She may not be the easiest to use but KYNTE FLUSH (1) reverts to a successful formula for her Angers debut and, if applied, will be no easy touch.
